Ricky Ricardo’s agent on I Love Lucy is named Jerry.
The character is played by Jerry Hausner, an actor whose professional first name matches the character’s. Jerry appears as Ricky’s representative in the show’s supporting cast, alongside recurring figures such as Freddy Fillmore and Mrs. Trumbull.
A common mix-up is confusing Jerry with other agents, managers, or business figures connected with the series. Ricky is a nightclub bandleader and performer, so the show periodically introduces people involved in bookings, contracts, publicity, and entertainment business. Jerry, however, is specifically identified as Ricky’s agent.
Hausner had a long radio, film, and television career. In one second-season episode, “The Handcuffs,” the role was played by Paul Dubov, which can make the character’s casting history seem less straightforward. The character’s first name remains Jerry.
